Recession Resistance with Lean

We want to help you get immediate benefits using Lean techniques while laying the foundation for a long-term continuous improvement strategy -- to help your company right now and for its future.

Certainly, Lean should be part of your long-term strategy of providing better quality products to your customers, in less time and at a lower cost by eliminating waste in every process. With the current economic conditions our North Country companies face, never has there been a better time to realize the cost-saving opportunities Lean techniques can bring.

Our Lean experts -- with decades of experience -- can assess your current situation and propose the best path forward based on your unique needs.

Don't have the manpower to implement? We can provide the on-site assistance you need. Cash flow constraining your ability to hire the expert help you need? Our Recession Resistance program brings together available funding programs, deferred and performance-based payment options. And, everything we do will include your internal Lean champions (Lean White Belts & Green Belts) so they can carry the improvements well into the future.

CITEC is right here in northern New York. We are your neighbors and we sincerely want your company to survive and thrive. For the best opportunities to improve cash flow, contact us at 315.268.3778 ext. 23 today.

Lean White Belt / Upcoming Registrations

Do you want to register your interest for sending attendees to a future Lean White Belt training series? Or do you want us to contact someone with more information about the program?

The interest in this program has been so great that we have offered it for four straight years now and are already receiving inquiries for 2011. So far, we have provided training in all of the Lean tools to 200 participants representing more than 50 companies located throughout the six northern counties of New York, as well as attendees from some of those companies' facilities in Canada and the northeastern US. Most companies send multiple attendees and most have sent additional attendees during subsequent series.

We've had very large companies (500 employees) and very small ones (15 employees) with every type of processing: Discrete, Continuous and Job Shop (paper industries of all types, a variety of cheese manufacturers, mining, plastic bags, fractional motors, freight train brake systems, gun cleaning kits, truss manufacturers, industrial valves, train door components, chandeliers, etc.).

Sessions are scheduled based on interest -- so, to make sure your company is included for future series, just email wilson@citec.org and we'll make sure to keep you informed on upcoming registrations.
